In our last notice of the betting teLs stated that unless tlic odds could be got ; _to l*el.Ve hundred pounds, at 10 to 1, Elis would not g'f:i 1;.; L'ioneaster, and that the declaration conse ctest'At MI this announcement would be made here at six o'clock bn Thursday (yesterday) evening. It will be readily ima gined that a notification of this kind would operate as a check upon speculation, as the chances of the other favourites would necessarily be materially affected by the addition to the field of a horse possessing such formidable public recommendations. The room, therefore, opened yesterday, not so much for the purpose of betting on the Bt. Leger as to ascertain which way the query, " to go or not to go," would be resolved, and three good hours were occupied in canvassing for " a list " to make up the six hundred pounds minus on Monday. This was found to be a very troublesome job, insomuch that, in order to raise the stipulated sum, three or four parties were compelled to bet the odds, in order to secure the money laid out upon the horse before the present curious position arose. At length, by dint of downright hard work, the amount was " got on," and a declaration was made that Elis would go for the St. Leger. Thus ended the first act of this amusing drama, which, to all appearance, did not go off entirely to the satis faction of some of the spectators, who seemed to be of opinion that so novel a method of backing a horse was calculated to favour " betting round." The concluding act, to be played at Doncaster, will turn on the still more important question, whether he will win the St. Leger? and will be noticed at the proper time. Immediately after it was known that he would go, offers were made to take 8 to 1 ; and as no one bid more than 6 to 1, the 12,000 to 1,200 has turned out a tolerably safe speculation. The attention of the parties pre sent was so much engrossed with this subject, that little else was thought of. The only horses mentioned were the fol lowing : 3 to 1 agst Mr. W.

Sir,—You have given insertion to a cruel attack on my character and my life, by copying an unfounded statement to my prejudice from the Morning Chronicle. I expect you will give me the same indulgence afforded to an anony. mous adversary, who has not cited a single circumstance even to a shadow of presumptive evide ice to support any accusation against me. Your readers are to understand that I was a pensioner and agent of Lord Castlereagh's, while he was preparing his revolutionary machinery for effecting the Union. II that great measure is appreciated as it ought to be, surely it is a great violation of duty to criminate Lord Castlereagh for accomplishing it, and me for taking the best wages going. I assure your readers that I am innocent of any part or participation in any means or measures of Lord Castle reagh's. In fact, lam innocent of doing good this way, and innocent of taking money for my neglect ; and for this reason —I was at the time on an equal footing with his Lordship— high in the military organization, I was the sitting Member for Dublin in the provincial, sent there by 8,000 electors—l was the confidant and companion of the most eminent men of the day, the most distinguished sufferers also ; I was no understrapper—l ranked as a leader ; I held the destinies of the country, and the lives of illustrious men, in my spotless hands. Affairs were so promising, that Lord Clare in his place in the House of Lords, said, that our ambassadors bearded Lord Malmesbury at Lisle —this was the time to make money. I never received money from from his Majesty's government, but in payment as a con tractor for making muskets and other small arms, for the Irish Board of Ordnance ; for be it understood I was at the time a young gunsmith, and had never any other intercourse at. the Castle, only, on one very serious occasion—it brings my gunsmith occupation in contact with another addition, that of engineer ; I went forward to the Secretary of State at the Castle to claim a paper in my hand writing found in the writing box of my beloved general, Lord Edward Fitz gerald, at Leinster-house, by the officers sent to apprehend him. It was a plan of barricade action, suited to a city, the first of the kind ever reduced to writing, an original, and with some improvements acted on thirty-two years after at Paris. The Duchess Dowager of Leinster alludes to it in her petition to the Duke of York, October 30, 1798. " In humble reliance on your Royal Highness's goodness, I will venture to mention another circumstance. In the re port of the Irish llouse of Lords, a great stress is laid on a paper said to be found among my son's papers, for the at tack on the city of Dublin. That paper was found on the 12th of March, and a few days afterwards, an armourer, who worked in the Castle of Dublin, on hearing it talked of went to the Under Secretary of State, and desired to see the plan, which when shown to him he acknowledged to be his, and that he sent it anonymously to Lord Edward Fitz gerald. Being asked his reasons for so doing, he said, be cause he understood Lord Edward was a good engineer, and curious in such matters." Lady Napier, sister of the Duchess, in her interesting diary, differs very little in her account of this paper. " That the report of a dreadful map found in Lady Ed ward's care, was one of Dublin, with notes by a clever gun smith, who had marked the weak points, and who had sent it to Lord Edward. That no sooner had this man heard of the noise it made than he went to government, and said it was his. They asked him for what purpose he had drawn it up—for my amusement." This was the only interview I had with Government during the period—a dangerous experiment at the moment ; nothing saved me from chastisement but the generosity of the gentlemen present, who were much astonished, and I believe amused, at the singularity of the visit, with the sim plicity and carelessness of my request and confession, for my mind - was bordering on despair, lest any imputation in jurious to my innocent chief should obtain circulation. If I were an agent and pensioner of Lord Castlereagh, we must have quarrelled at a very early period of our in timacy, for it is on record, that his Government had the director, senator, adjutant-general, en g ineer , gunsmith and journalist brought to trial, convicted, imprisoned three years and four months, fined 300/„ pilloried, and banished for publishing a pleasant magazine, abounding in sarcasm and humour, tending to ridicule his Lordship, his measures, men, and union, all included. I have an annual allowance now, through the kindness of the best friend Ireland ever had, and the most eminent of his own renowned country. Worn down by long confine ment, with the entire loss of my property, I am occasionally the victim of sneaking., unknown cowards, inflated with wealth and pride , they appear to envy me the honest luxury of honourable destitution.

The Bank Directors, who last week were highly indig nant., and gave a flat. contradiction to a report that they hau discussed the expedi enc y o f ra i s ing the rate o f interest, have now given official nptices of such an advance, both in re gard to discounts, and to the temporary accommodations on " approved securities." No man in his senses will now, o' course, believe but that they did, the whole or part of them, discuss the question last Thursday, and that they did also as was stated, agree to postpone it for a short time. This will create, however, no wonder, nor is it of any value, ex cept as tending hereafter to settle more completely the value of such official contradictions. The event itself is important, as throwing a new complexity into the affairs of the money-market, and it well deserves to be carefully con sidered in all its various bearings. The time chosen by the Bank for this new advance is thought by most persons to be one of the most remarkable features connected with it. They receive it, in fact, as evi dence that anything but cordiality exists between the Bank :Ind the Government in the administration of our financ:al affairs. Notice has been just issued from the Treasury for the exchange of Exchequer-bills, giving to the holders, as is usual, the option of new bills or money. The amount to which the notice applies is about 9,000,000/., and it is easy to perceive the embarrassing situation in which the Govern- .sent would be placed, if the present proceeding of the Bank, as is very likely, should force Exchequer-bills below par, and induce the holders to demand money. Another effect (an intended one) is that of increasing the scarcity of money in London, and it would be imagined that the Bank, in common consistency, would not, under these tircumstances, enter into any new contracts with joint-stock banks in the country, which have already done so much mis chief', for supplying them with money at a rate lower than that which is current in London. The directors have, however, as we are assured, within these few days past, agreed with a bank of that description in the west of Eng land for a very large advance ; ancl they are said also to be in treaty for the same purpose with others in various parts of the country. The complaints on this head from the London merchants and capitalists, who arc suffering by the preferences thus given, are growing every day more loud and general. Though the aggregate circulation is large, that of London is rendered by those means smaller than it was last year, at a time when it ought to have been comparatively greater to meet the extension of our commercial operations. There are complaints among the bankers all over the City of an absolute scarcity of bank-notes for the purposes of business. , A further consequence of this rise of the rate at the ' Bank will be that of bringing the new law into full opera tion, which takes away any limit to the rate of interest on bills having less than 90 days to run. Many cases have already occurred in which, including commission, much be yond 5 per cent. has been paid. Such bills will still, though on very dear terms, find a market ; but the large class of bills which have longer dates to run will not be cashed without difficulty, while the short bills may be turned to so much better account. Annexed copies of the notices issued this afternoon (as published in The Sun of yesterday) : " At a Court of Directors at the Bank on Thursday, the Ist of September, 1 836 : " licsolved, that the interest on Bills of Exchange and Notes discounted by the Bank, be advanced to Five per Cent. per annum." " The Governor and Company of the Bank of England do hereby give notice, that on and after the Ist hat., they will be ready to receive applications for leans upon the deposit of Bills of Exchange, Exchequer Bills, East India Bonds, or other approved Securities; such loans to be repaid on or before the 20th of October next, with interest, at the rate of 51. per cent. per annum ; and to be fur sums of not less than 2,0001. each. Bank of England, Ist Sept., 183 G." With regard to the Liverpool ar.d Manchester bills, founded on the export trade to the United States, which were so recklessly thrown out last week, to the astonish ment of the whole trading interest, who knew the perfect solidity of them, a sort of compromise appears to have been come to. On the news reaching Liverpool, a deputation was sent up to confer with the directors on the subject, and they had a conference on Tuesday with the Governor and Deputy-governor, and Mr. Horsley Palmer. After a full discussion on all the points at issue, they were given to un derstand that no obstacle would now be thrown in the way of discounting American bills arising out of fair busim..ss transactions, though a wish was expressed on the part of the Bank to check such foreign stock transactions as would have a tendenu to drain the country of specie. Between these and the legitimate transactions of commerce, the Bank Directors, if they understand their business, should always be able to distinguish ; and such a declaration was therefore quite superfluous. _ ( From the Morning Chronicle. ) We refer our readers to our Jity article for an account of the important resolution of the Bank Directors raisin the rate of interest to 5 per cent., and the reasons which are supposed to have induced them to take that step. In the article which we yesterday copied from the Cou- Tier it was shown that the increase of exports this year was very great ; and, assuming this to be a correct repre sentation, the exchanges cannot long be against us. They are now rising, and must continue to rise. The Globe of last night contains, in the shape of a letter " To the Economist of the Courier," some severe strictures on the article in question, which we have else where inserted. It m difficult byane ifi to n obtain ori; any an criterion influ x dif ferent from of the precious me tals to ascertain whether there is an excess a, n thato doubt, affordedof exports over imports, or of imports over exports. But as there is no doubt, from the accounts o f e x p or t s , bt, be that they greatly exceed in amount those of former years, the presumption is that there is an excess of expos ts, and we see that that excess is producing its natural effects in the rising of the exchanges. The question which the Bank had to consider was, whe ther the excess of exports over imports was such as to af ford them a security that the exchanges would be restored to a healthy state without their recurring to a step which must be severely felt by manufacturers and others through out the country. On that point we do not at pre.sent pos sess sufficient information to enable us to decide whether the Bank have acted prudently or not. On a future day we may enter more largely on the consideration of this most important subject. (City Article of the Morning Chronicle.) The occasion for this measure, which certainly was not altogether unexpected in the moneyed world, appears to have been twofold—to give a further check to the exporta tion of bullion, the diminution of the quantity of which is apparent from the last gazetted returns of the Bank ave rages, and to relieve that establishment from an undue pressure for accommodation, arising from the circumstance of its former rate of interest required upon advances made being below that which the demand for money enabled ca pitalists out of doors to command. Beyond a cautious de sire not t.o increase the amount of their securities (and they have manifested no disposition materially to diminish them), the operations of the Bank Directors have no obvious ex citement ; but they are manifestly placed in a difficult posi tion before the public, when the whole responsibility of a superabundant circulation, if it exist, is imputed to them at the time when the issues of provincial establishments, not subject to even the same degree of publicity, are let loose with lavish recklessness. There is good reason, how ever, to hope that this further check upon an extreme fa cility of credit, coming, as it does, at a time when the Fo reign Exchanges are showing a more favourable tendency, will speedily and quietly restore the circulation to its whole some limits, and cause a reflux of that bullion which, ab stracted from this country, must exist in needless abun dance elsewhere, and therefore be accessible t.o the legiti mate demands of commerce. (From the Morning Herald.) Ten days past we predicted that the Bank Direction would determine to raise the rate of interest upon loans and discounts ; and that opinion, which we obtained from the highest authority, has been confirmed by the transac tions of the Bank Parlour this day. We have reason to know that the step would have been adopted on this day week, but for a disunion of opinion between the members assembled. The same dispute was renewed this day in the Parlour by a set of interested men, who pretend to rule the monetary destinies of Great Britain. We shall pass over the crude articles which have been published by the implied organs of the Bank Parlour in defence of their pre sent policy, because the theories advanced in them, to minds imbued with common sense, will be of no avail. The bluster with which these denials have been made have placed the Bank Dirtction, and their servile advocates, in a most unbusiness-like and degrading position, since the de nials they have repeated for ten days Lave been falsified by the public notice. This determination fully confirms all our previously ex pressed opinions as to the weakness of the Corporation in Threadneedle street, and its total incapacity to sustain the currency system of this country. That this determination will check the spirit of enterprise, which now so happily rules over our manufacturing and commercial operations, there can be doubt ; but that it will cause the foreign ex changes to turn in favour of this country, as the silly and ignorant advocates of the Bank advance, the most expe rienced men in such matters positively (I , 'ny• This ann ouncement on the part of t h e B Direction I has created a good deal of heaviness in the British Funds. AI?CIiERY. The Louthborough Archers gave a very elegant fete to their friends, on Wednesday, August 31. The first silver medal was won by Captain Dison ; second medal, by Mr. Jefford; third medal, by Mr. Ansdale. The silver arrows were won by Messrs. Guilard, Fortescuc, and Goldsmid. The gold and silver arrow, for the most central shot in the prize target, was won by Mr. Wales. IVIRs. G RAHAM.—Yesterday forenoon a gentle man, a friend of Mr. Graham's, arrived in town from Dud dinghurst, with the intelligence that Mrs. Graham is pro gressively improving. She now talks most rationally, although it is not considered advisable that her late sad disaster should be at all discussed in her presence. Her eldest son is staying with her. ENGISII INFLUENCE AT SMYRNA.—The Frank quarter of the town perfectly resembles Portsmouth or Mar seilles. Hats arc universal. English, French, Italian and Spanish, arc almost the only languages heard in the streets ; and the first object that strikes the eye on landing is a house with a large sign board, informing you that it is the " Royal Naval Hotel," and that " neat wines, spirituous liquors, and London porter," can there be obtained. Even the Turkish shopkeepers in the baz tars address you in English, especially the pipe-sellers—" Jack ! you want bubble bubble?" " Very fine Nubble bubble, Jack !" " Much cheap, Jack !"

HOTEL WITH BANKING PRIVILEGES.—The Exchange Hotel, recently erected in New Orleans, is owned by an incorporated company, with banking privileges and a capital of two and a half million dollars.—New York Paper. The Baron de Boixh de Moresnet was on the 23d instant, returning from the Hippodrome, at Aix la Chapelle, with his family, in his carriage and four, but, having some business at a place near the town, close to a very steep preci pice, stopped, and got out. A few minutes afterwards one of the horses became restiff, and at length forced the carriage over the precipice. The baroness was killed on the spot, one of the children had its arm broken, and the others were very much injured. The coachman was also much hurt. Ono of the horses was killed, and the rest suffered greatly. We are happy to hear from the hop districts, that the plant has made a satisfactory progress during the few days past, and is likely to prove more productive than was pre viously anticipated. James erosscomb, master of the brig William Irvine. of Cardiff, lost his life in Ramsay Bay on Friday week. The vessel cast anchor in the bay, and the captain, accompanied by his wife, proceeded on shore to purchase provisions. A stiff breeze sprung up during their absence from the vessel, and in attempting to get on board again, the captain was washed overboard, and perished. His wife, to whom he had only been m arr i e d a b ou t s i x mont h s , was a melancholy spectator of his unhappy fate.—Cumberland Pacquet. The vast importance and valuable utility of che mistry, in connection with its sister science, Pharmacy, have been most satisfactorily illustrated in the Compound of Franks's Specific Solution of Copaiba, a medicine which (as a sure and never-failing remedy for those diseases which have baffled the skill of the most eminent members of the profes sion) is equally highly appreciated by the Faculty and the public. The successful result of Mr. Franks's labours and experiments have justly entitled him to the thanks of his profession ; and we need scarcely add, the gratitude of the afflicted. The high recommendations in favour of this Medi cine—induced by an experience of its efficacy in their public and private practice— o f such eminent surgeons as Mr. Green (one of the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons), Mr. Bransby Cooper, and others of high and deserved repute, warrant us in stating that Mr. Franks has done honour to his profession, and conferred a lasting benefit upon the public. It is worthy of remark to prove that the " scruples of preju dice have yielded to the conviction of truth"—that this medi cine is net only administered in the private practice of the most talented of the profession, but that it is very extensively used in the Public Hospitals and Dispensaries of the metro polis. For the testimonials of Mr. Green, Mr. B. Cooper and others, we refer our readers to an Advertisement in ano ther column of this day's paper.

THE LATE DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. The strictest inquiries have failed in ascertaining- the ori gin of this frightful conflagration. All that is known with certainty- is, that the flames were first seen from Tooley street, within the warehouse of Messrs. Wilson and Co. Mead, a constable of St. Olave's parish, who was in 'rooky street before two o'clock, says he then saw the flames in the warehouse alone, but in a few minutes after the flames, rushing up the well opening, spread to the shop above, and in an astonishing short space of time the whole building was a mass of fire from top to bottom, and it was impos sible to approach near it from Tooley-street. The very extensive dwelling and warehouses of Messrs. Wigan and Co. were next behind in Tooley-street, into which they projected about six feet beyond the line of Messrs. Wil son's house, and had windows from top to bottom with in this projection. Favoured by the wind, the flames rushed with irresistible fury in at these openings, and mlking their way through the front windows, were car ried across the street directly in a line with the loop-holes and doors of five floors of the great warehouse on Fen ning's-wharf. These loop-holes and doors were entirely , of wood, and ran perpendicularly up the side of the build ing, so that when the lower past caught fire it was impos sible, as the firemen were then situated, without any supply of water, to prevent the flames extending themselves with fearful rapidity into all these vast floors, where were accu mulated stores of miscellaneous property, mostly of an easily,' combustible kind. As soon as water could he got, the most extraordinary exertions were made by Mr. Braid wood to bring all his engines into full and serviceable ac tion. Besides 57 regular men belonging to the bri g ade, each of the eleven engines had '2O extra men engaged in working it, who were relieved from time to time ; and when the floating engine was at last brought up, 40 men were put on board her, so that at each stroke this engine alone threw a ton of water upon the burning masses. By screw ing the hose of different engines together, the firemen were able to carry the branches up to the tops of the houses of Messrs. Wigan, Edgington, and Garnett and Co., in Duke street, and thence pour down a well-directed stream upon the flames around and below them. It was by these means that Topping's-wharf, which is next to Fenning's, and in which was merchandise of the value of 50,0001., was saved from the destruction which fearfully threatened it. The great want of water, and the frightful consequences thus caused, have produced a great sensation in the neigh bourhood, and are likely to be the subjects of inquiry at a public meeting. It seems a similar want of water has been experienced at several other fires lately within the range of the service of the Southwark Company. The arrangements of the mains of this Company is said to be defective ; so that if a fire occurs in Tooley-street, or around, the turn cock has to go as far as St. George's Church in the Borough to turn on the main, and thence to several other places, to turn off the branch service. The freehold of the ground on which most, if not all, the property destroyed stood, belongs to the Corporation of London, and forms part of the Bridge House Estates. It was let on long building leases, and with all its improve menti; is mortgaged to Government for 35 years, on account of money advanced for building the new bridge. Nearly all the destroyed buildings on the south side of Toolcy street, and those in Duke-street, were built by Mr. Hum phery, and are insured in the Globe Office, but it is said for an amount far below their value. The cellarage under them is of vast extent, and was stored with property. the full extent of mischief done to which cannot even yet be ascertained. Fennings'-wharf was partly built upon what was the abutments and commencing piers of the old bridge, and the warehouses occupy, as nearly as possible, the point of inter section of the ancient streets. Goods were received at this wharf for all parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and it is impossible to come at any certain knowledge of the property here destroyed : The larger part is believed to be uninsured ; and, according to custom, the wharfinger spe cially excepts himself against all risk from fire. One in stance has come to knowledge of provisions which were lying at the wharf, which arc covered by a floating insu rance hi the Sun Office for 5,0001., an d th ere may b e a few other such policies, but still there must b e a vast num ber of total losses to parties resident in all parts of the kingdom. The following is a list of the places for which goods were shipped at this wharf :—Gainsborough, Nor wich, Yarmouth, Aldborough, Snape, Colchester, Bridling ton, Sheffield, Boroughbridge, Leeds, Goole, Halifax, New castle-upon-Tyne, Harwich, Hastings, Limerick, Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Liverpool, Chester, Falmouth, Perron, Truro, and Swansea. Sir,—An incorrect statement having appeared in the Papers, that in the late fire the whole of my premises were burnt to the ground, and as such a statement i s ca l cu l ate d to be of serious injury to my business, as well as to cause great anxiety to distant friends, I trust you will insert this letter.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 10.—A circular was thn morning addressed by the Consul-General to the merchants of Galata, informing them that, in answer to the represen tations made by the Ambassador to the Porte, on the sub ject of the restrictions on West India Coffee, his Excellency has received on assurance from it " that orders have been given to the Director of the Tahmiz to allow British mer chants to sell American coffee eyerywilere as freely as be fore. The prompt attention paid in this instance to the claims of our Ambassador may be considered as a proof of the respect which he now commands at the Porte, and of the wisdom displayed in the late energetic proceedings in the Churchill affair. Advantage will no doubt be taken of the present favourable dispositions of the Porte to obtain a remedy for many iradlerable abuses affecting our commerce. For the last few days there has been some talk of a confe rence of the different Chancelleries, in order to take into consideration the propriety of lodging - a formal complaint against Tahir Bey, the Director of the Customs. - His ar bitrary and unjust proceedings have become too vexatious to be borne with any longer. Intelligence was brought here by the Smyrna - packet that during the night of Friday, the sth inst., almost the whole town and tower of the Dardanelles had been de stroyed by fire: The place was considerable in extent, and contained about twenty thousand inhabitants, who, by a calamity unhappily not uncommon in this country, have in ona night lost all they possessed in the woald. It is well that they arc at the same time endued with Turkish stoi cism to encounter it. The fire, it is said, broke out at a baker's stove, and thence spread rapidly over the town, consuming in its progress the house of the Pasha. The efforts of the latter and his followers were exclusively di- ' rected to the preservation of the powder magazine, which, it is asserted on the best authority, contains 40,000 quin tals of gunpowder. They happily succeeded in their ob- ject at the expense and sacrifice, as I have already stated, of the greater part of the town and of the lower batteries, which have been entirely demolished. I have just heard, on the best authoniv, an incident which has occasioned a powerful sensatioperiod)te Porte, and which is as discreditable to the Aust an offiovernment as it reflects honour on our Foreign Secretr weor the spirit and dignity he has displayed in it. At tr.e- period of his daughter's marriage two bags, containing the autograph letters of the Sultan, were forwarded to their Majesties William IV. and Louis Philippe. For the purpose of quarantine they were delivered here into the hands of Baron Sturmer, the Austrian Internuncio, to be transmitted to the Turkish Ambassadors at London and Paris. On their arrival, however, all the seals and the elaborate finery of their Oriental fastenings were found to have been violated, and treated with as little ceremony as ordinary letters meet with at Sena). Having delivered the mission, with many apologies for its mutilated appearance, Nourri Effendi was informed that, consistently with etiquette, the letter could not be received in that condition ; and that the best course he could adopt would be, with assurances of respect and expressions of regret on the part of his Majesty, to send it back to Constantinople. A note was at the same time dispatched by our Foreign Secretary to Vienna, expressive of his Majesty's surprise and indignation that a letter ad dressed to . him personally by another Sovereign should have been treated with so little regard to delicacy or honour, and the established usages of Courts. The French and English combined fleets are now, ac cording to the Smyrna Gazette of the 6th instant, at Athens. It is composed of six British and four French sail of the line, with numerous frigates and corvettes. A regi ment of infantry was embarked last week at Smyrna for the island of Rhodes. Since writing the above I find that Lord Ponsonby has received an additional proof that firmness and independence in his dealings with the Porte are the best policy he can adopt. In the restitution of some confiscated contraband . property belonging to a Greek who had defrauded his Eng:ish creditors, the decree states that it has done so for the first time, and contrary to its established custom, in order to prove the respect and consideration in which it held the English Ambassador, who had memorialised it on the occasion. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) • Nicholas Aristakis, alias Logotheti, the most zealous and efficient among Russia's numerous emissaries at Constanti nople, has exhibited during the course of the present week, within the precincts of the Greek Church at Kooroo 'Fchesmeh, a representation equally creditable to his melo dramatic, diplomatic, and histrionic talents, and which can not fail, for these manifold reasons, to secure him additional titles to the gratitude of his St. Petcrsburgb patrons. The principal among the personw of his political drama, given 'or the Emperor's benefit by this ingenious and devoted ervant of his, was the skeleton of his father, Stavraki, rately dug up from its grave at Bolou, and brought to „ . the capital by the son, under the plea of placing these mortal remains at rest in a sepulture more comfortable and honourable than the one they had tenanted during fourteca years in the depths of Asia Minor. The son's part had been chalked out after llfzmlet's. In order to enable the English reader to appreciate the effect with which this exhibition operated on the sensitive minds of the Greek spectators, it is essential to remark that Stavralti. bad acted a conspicuous part during the late Greek insurrection. After serving as interpreter at the Porte for upwards of a year at that turbulent period he was exiled to Bolou with his son, the present worthy, and shortly alter his ar rival there put to death, by order of his former protector, Halid Effendi. The remidscence of the days of terror and bloodshed, during which this tragic episode occurred, could not but rekindle in the bosom of the Greeks the feelings which it is Russia's object never to allow to be come extinguished, hatred and the thirst of revenge against their present rulers. In order to rendtir the pageant more solemn and theatrical, the patriarch, clad in his most mag nificent robes, performed the funeral service, in company of the Archbishops and Bishops of the Synod, surrounded by the wife and daughters of the departed. After the mouldering bones had reverently been washed with wine and anointed with myrrh and aromatic oils, blessed and re blessed, previous to their being deposited in the cemetrv, Aveamios, the most eloquent among the preachers at the Greek Cathedral, delivered a funeral oration, not unlike Anthony's over Caesar's body. After passing in review the events which bad preceded Stavraki's " most foul, strange, and unnatural murder," he drew liom them a series of corollaries which certainly cannot add much to the loyalty of the feelings of Greeks towards the Sultan. The orator then thought proper to employ the electrifying powers of prosepopteia to rouse to the highest pitch of excitement the passions of his hearers. The ghost tie had evoked from the ebony shades of Erebus uttered prophecies, serving to initiate the congregation into the secret of their future deliverance, and entered into digressions of so revolutionary a tendency that the son himself, alarmed at the consequences so intem perate an allocution might, if repeated abroad, bring upon his own head, enjoined the orator to alter his strain, lest the Sultan should oblige him in good earnest, once for all, to give up the ghost. Had other proofs been wanted this - public and ostentatious display of the feelings which Logo theti bears towards the Turkish Government, in whose service he has been for a series of years, ought at last to unseal the eyes of the stone-blind Turks, and enable them to appreciate the real worth of the individual in whom they l i have placed so much confidence. The Turkish Steam Navigation Company have made a most inauspicious debut. The bOiler of one of these steamers has, on its very first trip to Smyrna, been blown up. In order to extricate the ship from a sand bank, where he found her unexpectedly detained, Cap tain Kelly had heightened the pressure of the steam to such a degree that an explosion took place, by which lie himself was severely wounded. On Thursday last Mahmoud presented another picture of himself to the artillery barracks. All this foolery has already let to most . serious consequences, and the last display, more imposing than the previous ones, could only have been intended as a bravado. He appears determined to break the hearts of the factious Ulemas with vexation, while the num ber and improved appearance of the troops, infantry and ca valry, which he had collected on the occasion, not only sup : pressed the murmurs of the crowd, but with the usual triumph that atteads successful daring, converted their exe crations into blessings and invocations to Allah for the Pa dishah's prosperity. With respect to the soldiers them . selves, they appear to regud these ceremonies. with ference, or at most with a stupid sort of admiration. Some i of them assert that the Sultan has bor rowed this nnova- ' when not disposed t o tion from the French Generals, who , , , „ take the field themselves, send their pictures to command the troops for them. This Would certainly be an improve mentall useful purp oses , in their own service, since , for the pictures of their officers would be fully as efficient as the originals. I understand that M. Pisani has taken offence at some remarks which were made on his conduct at the commence ment of the Churchill affair. In the first excitement caused by the outrage, and the protracted incarceration of that gen tleman, it was thought that our Drogueman had not dis played sufficient zeal in the business. Indeed, such was the impression of Mr. Churchill himself ; but it appears he was mistaken. While, however, on the subject of Droguemans, I must be permitted to observe that the whole system is radically bad, and , ought to b e c h ange d . In point of trust and re sponsibihty the post of Drogueman at Constantinople is scarcely less important than that of the Ambassador him self, and should not be confided to aliens in birth, edu cation, and connection. On these latter advantages, how ever, it would certa i nly be necessary to engra f t an Orient.tl education, which is only to be acquired on the spot. In event of a change, it would be only just that those whose - zeal and fidelity have been hitherto unim peached, and I believe M.

There is an intrigue also agairst the Mucata Naziri, who is a determined enemy to peculations- in office by any other than himself, and who consequently has many powerful enemies. It is said that the Porte has lately been requiring of the French Ambassador explana tions as to the manner in which France has been behaving at Tunis. I have not beard what Baron Roussin said its reply ; but—disguise it as he may—l suppose he makes use of the old proverb which teaches us that might is better than right. The French and English fleets were together at Plialere,.. near Athens. It is said here that they would leave that an chorage for the coast of Syria and Egypt, which they visit by way of showing themselves. The plague has nearly disappeared from Smyrna ; on the • other hand, it is on the increase at Adrianople, where about fifty die daily. British shipping is amazingly scarce in every part of the Levant, and if there were any vessels disengaged, they would instantly be taken up at high freights. Those arri ving here, destined for the Black Sea, are not detained by the northerly winds, as was formerly the case, as Austrian and English steamers employ their leisure time in towing ships through the Bosphorus, an occupation with which the Turkish Government does not in the least interfere.

CATASTROPHE AT JERSEY. A FAMILY OF FOUR PERSONS POISONED L? ARSENIC. The following are the particulars of a disastrous event wl:ich took place on Sunday evening, the 21st ult., in the family of Mrs. Anthoine,in the Clarendon-road, Jersey. Mrs. Richard Anthoine had received a present of four bottles of perry from a gentleman in the country, and inti mate friend of the family. The first bottle was drunk with out any unpleasant consequences. On Sunday, soon afte7 dinner, the scored bottle was opened and drunk. This did not effervetce like the former, and one of the family observed that it tasted of iepper. The family consisted of Mrs. and le two Misses Anthoine and a servant maid, A few nii- mites after taking the perry, of which they all partook in nearly equal proportions, some symptoms of sickness at the stomach began to show themselves. Mr. Lyon, a urst res pectable army surgeon, who resides near, was immediately called in, end took the necessary steps for having the sto machs of all well emptied by vomiting ; and to this prudent step, aided by the administration, instantly after, of large doses of carbonate of soda, is probably to he ascribed the averting of the destruction of the whole family. Notwith standing these steps, however, Mrs. Antl;oine. who was aged, and whose health was in a very delicate state, from a gradual decline, continued to grow worse until about seven o'clock in the evening, when she died. A suspicion that the poison was arsenic arising, Dr. Scholefield broke the bottle, and found about an ounce of a sediment, which, on being submitted to the blow-pipe, in stantly yielded the poisonous mineral in its pure state, and it was recognized by its characteristic smell and appearance. In the meanwhile the three remaining cases continued to grow better under the treatment. of the before-named medi cal gentlemen, and we are happy in being able to state that they are now out of immediate danger. It is but right to say that the gentleman who presented the perry immediately hastened to town on hearing of the sad event, and that his feelings are such as one might ex pect to witness in one who had, though innocently, occa sioned such an affliction. A coroner's inquest was held on the body of Mrs. An thoine, on Monday, the 22d ult., when the Jury returned a v..”-dict of " Accidental Daath." Mr. Richard Anthoine, the husband of the lady who was so unhappily poisoned, and his son, are at Newfoundland on a fishing establishment. The Countess of Kerry was taken from her bed at Lansdowne House on Wednesday last, at the hour of eleven.. by her father Viscount Duncannon, and placed on u. litter, and thus conveyed to a travelling carriage, Which, by sow journeys will proceed to Liverpool, and then cross to Dublin. Her Ladyship, we are sorry to state, was in a most pitiable state from the severity of her sufferings at her recent . loss. She had not quitted her bed from the hour of her hus ,band's demise, and was reduced to a mere skeleton. Prompt measures, it is hoped, will restore animation to her system.
